Streamline your market research by mining validated 'Show HN' projects daily without the noise.

Staying on top of new launches on Hacker News is inefficient because generic feeds are cluttered with political debates and general tech news, forcing you to waste hours manually filtering for actionable product insights.

This CLI tool acts as a precision filter that scrapes strictly the 'Show HN' section to isolate actual product launches and side projects. By running a single, zero-configuration command, you instantly bypass the irrelevant chatter and receive a clean, structured Markdown report containing only projects that have demonstrated community interest through engagement metrics.

What's included:

  • Zero-Config CLI -- Eliminates setup time by running instantly without environment configuration or API keys.
  • Smart Idea Validation -- Filters for posts with significant traction (upvotes) to ensure you only analyze viable concepts.
  • Structured Data Extraction -- Automatically captures Project Name, URL, Upvotes, and Comment Count for easy analysis.
  • Markdown Output -- Generates a universally compatible format ready for import into Notion, Obsidian, or team wikis.
  • Single-File Architecture -- Provides a lightweight, portable tool that requires no complex dependencies or installation wizards.

Who this is for:

Developers and founders conducting competitor reconnaissance who need high-signal data without the bloat of expensive SaaS monitoring tools, and growth teams seeking a fast pipeline of fresh backlink opportunities and trend analysis.

Real example:

Before: A product manager spent 45 minutes scrolling the main HN feed, getting distracted by 3 unrelated political threads and missing 2 relevant launches in their niche. After: They ran the tool, instantly retrieved a list of 8 validated projects with active comments, and copied the data into their strategy deck in under 2 minutes.

What you'll achieve:

  • Reclaim 3+ hours per week by automating the scouting and filtering process.
  • Identify market gaps and feature trends faster than competitors relying on manual browsing.
  • Build a comprehensive database of launch examples for inspiration without spending money on subscriptions.

FAQ:

Technical requirements? Python 3.10+ or as specified in README. No coding experience needed to run.
